Description

- cannot install both vim-minimal-2:8.0.086-1.fc26.x86_64 and vim-minimal-2:8.0.094-1.fc26.x86_64

The problem with this message is that it is not clear where the package comes from. It would be useful, it the message stated the repository as well.

Actual results:

  • cannot install both vim-minimal-2:8.0.086-1.fc26.x86_64 and vim-minimal-2:8.0.094-1.fc26.x86_64

Expected results:

  • cannot install both vim-minimal-2:8.0.086-1.fc26.x86_64@@commandline and vim-minimal-2:8.0.094-1.fc26.x86_64@fedora
